Discovering nature with your cart will bring you an
intense satisfaction; this leisure is more and more practised by
the equidaes's owners.
On the whole, the donkey consent's to pull a cart but it's better
for the donkey to have received a training course to practice this
discipline.
That's why the "Asinerie du bocage" suggest to you day's
introduction to the carting to minimize mistakes and to give you
confidence with your donkey.

Au programme:

safety regulations

the language of the handler with his donkey

training in driving with the model (donkey and cart)

preparation of the donkey

studying of morphology

long-reining exercices

discovering the parts of the harness

Fitting and adjustment of harnessing

driving a cart

removing the cart and deharness

etc...

With the model, you will learn how to handle
the guides with dexterity to be very soft with the mouth of
the donkey.

To work with long-reining allows you to drive the donkey and
teach him to respond to your instructions.

To be safe, you must never drive without an assistant.

To give you some idea of the class program, visit:
- 1st session: practical theory
and first applications
- 2nd session: training in long-reining,
2 and 4 wheels cart's.

coverage included in the insurance of the licence.

Education of the donkey for carting

Carting is a discipline extremely enjoyed by the
family, but requires the donkey to have a good education to
obtain the maximum satisfaction, and to avoid taking unnecessary
risks.
We thus propose to you, boarding the donkey with us to be able
to educate it in carting (single or double carting).

We will train it:

to stay quite under all circumstance

to respond to your instructions

to stop and not move for a moment

to cross obstacles which can be difficult for a donkey (grids
of sewer, markings on the ground...)

to walk on a main road

Set
price of 450
€which includes:

Your donkey(s)
at livery for one month

educate
it in single carting

The minimum age to educate your donkey in carting is 18 months,
and it can be more difficult after 4 years. I have stallions in
the asinery, so for reasons of safety, I can accept only females
or donkeys gelded for the moment.
